Later work confronts the problems and failures of early assumptions on more general problems, and as the method matures and becomes more generally applied, a standard toolkit of more-or-less rigorous protocols for data interpretation and error estimation is developed. The 230Th/U dating method has evolved along broadly similar lines, but with a discontinuity arising from the revolutionary application by Chen et al. (1986)...
